That is 100% true. They found, after buying the rig, that it had extensive rot in many spots throughout the rig. If Im not mistaken, They guys over at Wakefield Sand and Gravel offered to repair the rig at no cost. Because of that, its taking a lot longer because they are only tackling it when they have spare time to do it.
Its been there for a while and I am not sure how much longer it will be there. Next time I see Chief Parr, Ill ask him about it.

We were covering in waltham a couple of weeks ago and they told us that their spare ladder got to close to some power lines which caused an arch through the truck right into the ground (it never touched wires but got with in 10 feet or so). it blew off a compartment door and thank god the guy running the truck was not hurt. i think they said it was gone and not coming back, there was that much damage to it.
